Out There

Contemplating change…

   Out There

Life turns this way then
That. Choices, actions, fortune
All combine to rend

Expectations from
What really happens out there
When the day is done

Contemplating big changes and next steps…

Every One

Contemplating life’s struggles…

   Every One

All in their own way
Warriors each and every one
Facing life each day

Some battles are harder for some than for others. Each should be respected for their own struggles…

Forever a Monument

Contemplating destiny and achievement…

   Forever a Monument

He walked on the moon
With one small step for a man
He began
What would soon

Prove to be man’s greatest leap
For decades beyond comprehension to come
For we haven’t gone anywhere else since that moment

But he was there then and forever a monument
To what can be done
When we leap

His effort a boon
To the legacy of man
For with his small step he began
A course that leads to beyond this planet’s doom

In honor of Neil Armstrong…

Blessed Showers

Contemplating joy and agony…

   Blessed Showers

Face up in the rain
Blessed showers hide the tears
Playing thru the pain

Contemplating courage and foolishness…

Mountains Moved

Contemplating achievement…

   Mountains Moved

In a new nation
How mountains moved, cities built
Cooperation

Many Times

Contemplating love and courage…

   Many Times

Who’ll save her babies?
Many times into the fire
She got her puppies

In honor of a Chilean momma dog that kept going back into the burning building until one by one she got all her puppies out…

Looking Out

Contemplating responsibility…

   Looking Out

Blaming is a joke
Looking out not looking in
The mindset is broke

   -gl-

Others may contribute, and random chance plays hugely at all times, but we drive much of what comes to us…

Little Boy Draws

Contemplating community…

   Little Boy Draws

Rushing filled with fright
A little boy draws searchers
Missing overnight

   -gl-

A salute to all those that turned out…

Please share…

They Look

Contemplating the faces of courage…

   They Look

Pain is an answer
And quick. Tougher than they look
Young Irish dancers

   -gl-

Tiny little girls limping, and going back out on the dance floor…

Impressed…
